Any porting exercise requires you to do a thorough study of the "original" and "destination" chips - so see the differences.

If the "destination" chip doesn't have hardware support for a required feature, you have 2 choices:

Implement it in software;
Add external hardware.

Hi Aweneil,

Thanks for your reply.

We will start with ble_peripheral example only, but if you know any known things like "Crypto Cell" not supporting in NRF52832 device, like that if we have any differences , those are very helpful to us while porting.

Regards,

The easiest way is probably to start with a basic example from the SDK for the nRF52832.

This will give you a known-working starting point - so covers questions 2, 3 & 4.

Then merge your application stuff into this.

If you originally started your nRF52840 from an SDK example, then simply choose the nRF52832 version of that same example.

What ever is, it's exactly the same whether you use nRF52840 or nRF52832 - so shouldn't be a worry.
